Hello Again sorry for the Wait My life as been stupid so I'm writing up one more chapter!

As Cedric ran beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, turning corners as swift as he would if he were on a broom, running as fast as his long legs could take him. Things were blurry and he heard the shouts of the portraits telling him to slow it down.

"Why the bloody hell is the library so far from the Hufflepuff dormitory?" He thought to himself.

Running up the stairs he ran right into a raven-haired, fair looking boy. The smaller of the two boys let out a shocked scream.

"Oh sorry Harry" Cedric breathed out. "I didn't see you"

"Oh it's ok! The way you were running I don't think you saw much" Harry laughed

"You just came from the library right?" Cedric asked, Harry nodded, "Is Neville there? I need to speak with him"

"Uh…yeah, he's with Hermione. But I wouldn't go bother them, 'Mione can be crazy at times when it comes to teaching someone something. Believe me; I only got away alive with the promise of giving her my cupcake tonight at dinner!" Harry said with a witty expression. Cedric laughed.

"Nothing I can't handle." Cedric said turning "Anyway thanks for the heads up and telling me where Neville is. I owe you one!" Waving over his shoulder, he started to run again. Finally reaching the door to the library, he burst through the archway, searching for any sign of Neville. Finally spotting him at the far end he quickly walked over to him. Neville and Hermione looked up at him as soon as he got to their table. Hermione looked away blushing, being the fan girl that she was.

"Hi Cedric" Neville said looking at the textbook in front of him.

"I need to talk with you about tonight…" He started to mumble something but Neville heard enough to get up and looked at Hermione.

"Yeah I'll be right back 'Mione" Neville said grabbing Cedric's arm and pulling him to a deserted part of the library. "What is it Cedric?"

"I just want to know if you want our date to be formal or just casual"

Neville just looked at him with wide eyes. And then he shook his head laughing slightly.

"Umm casual I guess" He said trying not to laugh.

"Oh ok. So I'll meet you in the great hall at six?" Cedric said looking away

"Yeah sure" Neville replied and started to turn away. When he felt Cedric grabbed his arm, Neville turned to face Cedric. Cedric pulled him in quickly and hugged him tightly.

"You know I love you. I can't wait till six!" Cedric whispered into Neville's ear making him blush. Cedric let go and walked off and left the library. Neville walked back to Hermione.

"What are you doing with Cedric tonight Neville?" Hermione asked him when he sat back down.

"What? Oh nothing just helping him with some…ere… herbology" Neville stuttered.

"Oh. Well let's get to potions." Hermione said noticing his highly blushing cheeks.

"Yeah!" Neville said

…

"Six o-clock," Cedric said to himself quietly, as he sat on the stairs waiting for Neville.

He heard shoes walking down the halls quickly standing up to greet Neville he saw the one person he didn't want to see.

"Professor Snape! How good to see you this evening" Cedric said with the best happy voice he could do.

"Mr. Diggory. May I ask why you are sitting in the great hall after hours?" Snape glared at the handsome boy.

"Sir I will have you know I have Professor Dumbledore own permission to be out after hours I have a meeting with someone" Cedric replied setting his jaw.

"Well I will just have to see about that wont I if I find out your lying to me I will be taking away points. I will see you tomorrow in class" The older man scoffed turning on his heels and walking off.

"Basterd!" Cedric mumbled under his breath. He sat back down waiting. Six-o-five, and still no Neville. He was beginning to think the Neville was going to stand him up. He was going to wait 5 more minutes then he would leave. Sitting, and staring at the doors. A hand touched his shoulder and he jumped.

"Oh sorry for scaring you and being late!" Neville said from behind him "Its just Harry, You know Harry potter right? Anyway, Harry would not let me go. He kept asking where I was going so late and why..." Cedirc's lips cut off Neville. Cedric was surprised to see Neville kiss him back. Everything in the world was dead to them; nothing could kill this moment for them. Someone could walk by and they wouldn't care. The two boys stood there kissing each other for about ten minutes.

TBC. I'll have more of a date scene later! R&R
